Message Subject Who is "the comforter"?
Poster Handle Photina
Post Content
Are you saying that Jesus himself is the comforter?
 Quoting: 1908247


Yup.

The Holy Spirit is not a " third being " who isn't Jesus, mediating between man and God.

It's Christ's presence through the spirit within us (which comes from the Father). It's the spirit of Christ, which makes us Sons of God and members of God's family.
 Quoting: Photina


I understand, and do initially agree with it being the spirit of Christ. But what about this verse?

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

In these words Jesus seems to be referring to an advocate other than himself.
 Quoting: 1908247


To even entertain this would be acknowledging another possible mediator between man and God.

Another "way" and another "life", another spirit, another Christ, etc.
